henry kravis says the fiscal cliff is main reason investing isn't happening. he says many companies are rushing to close deals before the end of the year because they're concerned about whether capital gains tax will rise. he says the fiscal cliff shouldn't be a big issue and if businessmen go into the room they could solve the problem an awful lot faster than congress. ken cayman is president of macadian asset management. i presume you share the sentiments -- i think we probably all do share the sentiments of mr. kravis. what would you do? >> well, listen, i think when you look at how businessmen make decisions, they have to live with the outcome of the decisions. politicians unfortunately make one decision, move on, and make another one. they don't live and die by any one decision. so i actually agree. ic that if all they did was have to focus on this one issue, we'd get a better result. but that's not the way government works. they get briefed on economic stuff one minute and they run into a meeting and get briefed on the mating habits of a spotted owl or s
